Nordex Obtains Unit Certificate For Wind Turbine

Hamburg

Nordex received the unit certificate according to VDE-AR-N 4120 (Technical requirements for the connection and operation of customer installations to the high voltage network (TCC High Voltage) for the N117/3000 turbine from FGH Zertifizierungsgesellschaft mbH in Mannheim, Germany. Presentation of the unit certificate is a prerequisite for connection to the German high-voltage grid (110 kV) and the operation of wind turbine generators as of 01 July 2017.

Being provided with the unit certificate at this early stage means that Nordex customers can now make more dependable plans for projects with the N117/3000 before the end of the TCC High Voltage transition period on 30 June 2017 thanks to the assessment of the grid connection by the external appraiser.

The unit certificate confirms that the WTG fully complies with the TCC High Voltage requirements. The N117/3000 has thus successfully and without restriction provided evidence of the behaviour required in the VDE-AR-N-4120 guidelines in the event of surges and to support voltage in the event of grid faults by providing reactive current in the pos./neg. sequence.
